Step By Step Coral Drawing

How To Draw Beautiful Sea Coral Reefs (Easy Drawing Guide for Kids)

Rare and endangered, coral reefs are often believed to be plants but they're actually a member of the jellyfish and anemones family. It's an animal (also called polyps)! There are only 1% of coral reefs in all the world's oceans yet they host and house hundreds of millions, billions of organisms, and marine life. There is so much biodiversity it rivals the Amazon rainforest. The great coral reef is so intricate that over 2 million people visit the great barrier reefs a year to see this incredible biodiversity. There are over 2,500 coral reefs and we'll take a representative cartoon-style snippet of that diversity. Let's get started and draw out these corals!

🎨 Parents:The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you're done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
